I am standing
Alone
The shadow is
Coming Following me
Tracing me
Engulfing me
Pulse races
I scream, but
Nothing
Comes out of my
Wide
Open
Mouth
Every breath
More labored,
Harder
What should I do?
What should I do?
I try to be
Hardworking Kind
Nice
Perfect
But every imperfect score
I say
“Could have been better”
99%
Could be
100%
And I find
The shadow
Waiting
To get me
But wait
Is that…
Light?
Hope?
Love?
And there I see
I am NOT
The shadow
The shadow
Is not Me
I am
Imperfect
Brilliant
Special
Loved
I am
Everything
The shadow comes
But my light
Will force it away
Sometimes
I cry
Sometimes
I fall
Sometimes
I scar
But then
I smile
Because
I am here
And the people
I love
Will never go away
But the shadow
Will
Fade
Because
Of my light
Of their light
And that
Is what makes me
Perfect.
